No nothing else.  FWIW the following seems to work as expected both bash
and ksh:

$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin command -pv readlink
/usr/bin/readlink

> # PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin type readlink

This prints:
readlink is /usr/bin/readlink
